Marv is having a hard time

 

[benchplayer]

Dekker should never see the floor

Why is it this dude gets minutes but Zizic can't? can't help thinking this guy is gonna do something goofy like trip over his own foot lol

 

[Los216]

Z is in

 

[red.]

ZIZIC IN!!!!

 

[Kiddo]

Zizic .5 secs played and he has 2 pts. Come on Lue!

 

[Los216]

Billy Preston!!!!!

Dekker is playing backup PF.

Zizic can only guard 5s and, in theory, Dekker can guard some 3s and 4s.

 

[red.]

Zizic with a horrible turnover.

Billy Preston!!!!!

It’s lit!

 

[Kiddo]

Dekkar didn’t stand out by any means but he’s not a black hole. He’ll be fine playing 10-15 mins per game.

 

[CBBI]

IF Zicic is going to see time, it going to have to be at the expense of Tristan, not anyone else.

He shouldn't eat into Nance's minutes and he can't play anything but C.

 

[stick]

Nwaba has become one of my favorite players on the Cavs in 6 minutes. ;P

I think he has a good chance to carve a spot in the rotation (eventually...). I wanna see it anyways...

 

[inliner311]

I wonder if Korver will be able to get his shot up with this group. Nwaba seem more comfortable with the second unit than Korver did. Just no one with any sort of gravity to give Korver shooting space.

 

[Real Deal]

Safe to say Zizic is already out of the rotation -- not that I expected him to play much anyways.

He just doesn't fit in our group of players/bigs, unless a trade is made then of course.

But obviously Lue needs spacing out there at all times, that's why Dekker is getting the first look. Nance and Zizic just won't work for Sexton. Sexton needs a driving lane or two.

Also, I have no idea how JR fits in with this group, because he doesn't. I like Nwaba too much.

I think eventually we'll see Dekker's playing time diminish...
